The storm came up suddenly following mild weather. Most had disappeared and Saturday. Sunday changed and by noon a storm was raging. At times is was difficult to see farther than a few feet away. Motoring was difficult and citizens sought the shelter of their home and stoked the fires. The storm con­ tinued most of Monday. The ther­ mometer registered about zero. Al­ though the snow was drifting most of the roads were swept clear by the wind. The snowplow kept open the highway. The snow seemed to find every nook and corner, of the trees laden with snow a very pretty sight. Some were Exe- held We also have several tins Chinaniel Varnish Stain, D. C. W.

"This is But how this hog Oh you will do The report was brief. It stat­ hog just tore a hole thro’ of depression and started of his own accord. But know about this yet? Especially people him to send sufficient to arrest this hog at he runs loose much long- all be ruined. General STRANGE STORY, BUT TRUE There he goes? Who goes? Why just a lowly country hog. Marching boldly down the highway of prosper­ ity carrying a large sign bearing prominent numerals and when you get close enough to read, it says $18.25 per cwt. and written beneath in a strong eligible hand the end of depression.” did it happen? How did break out of the field, never can tell what a hog or where it may go. But this matter received a prompt investigation. Not by a Royal commission, hut by an old farmer who had never heard of a brain trust on modern econo­ mics. ed. This the fence travelling do people Why certainly! who read the papers. On January 24 the Toronto Globe mentioned it in five different places. The London Free Press in three places and the Exeter Times-Advocate was full of it. Well this hog won’t get far, someone will stop him. Will they, that’s the beautiful thing about a hog, the more people who try to stop him, the more determined he becomes. He reached Toronto the first of last week and when the Canada Packers saw -him coming up Keele street the managers shouted, Hold everything, everybody to the front and stop this hog or we are ruined.” The battle continued all day Monday. The hog was still going strong on Tuesday and in de­ spair the Packers called General Wil­ liams head of the Provincial Police and asked provincials once for if er we will Williams said: Gentlemen: We have heard all about the hog long before you called, Tommy Kennedy gave us all the information. This hog is law-abiding and very welcome in Toronto. He may have broken some of your by-laws and rules at Keele street but we have nothing against him at Queen’s Park. The Packers held a hurried consultation and at the conclusion of their meeting or­ ders were issued to all their buyers to go into the market at once, buy this hog and all hogs like him, pay any price necessary, have them slaughtered at once and sent out of the country. We must conduct our business with proper decorum, ac­ cording to our own rules and pre­ serve our dignity among the do­ mestic animal producers and con- consumers included. Well is that the end of the hog story? Why no, that’s only the beginning. How so? Well Britain has provided accord­ ing to quota to take from Canada nine times as many hogs as Canada is producing at present. The Can­ adian farmer is going to be busy for a long time increasing the hog production and growing grain to feed them. This will divert mil­ lions of fertile acres from other line& of production, which will stimulate prices of farm products in all lines. If you read your papers you will have noticed Companies contract­ ing with farmers' for certain crops are having some difficulty getting farmers to sign contracts. The reas­ on no doubt is that the same old depression prices are being offered for 193 4 as were paid in 19 32 and 1933. Oh, yes, Mr. Farmer, if you cannot get through the hole the hog made or make a new one for your­ self, why just stop and think a bit. Time is not so precious in January and February that a few hours can­ not be devoted to thought. Well so long for this week. Maybe some more about the hog next week. That all depends upon iMr. Editor. The ■wee junior farmers might like some farm poetry. Well here is some,— How doth tho little busy pig, Improve each shining hour, And gather sausages all day, From every opening flower; And who when the shades of twi­ light fall, He slumbers in his sty, Or sings his pretty evening hymn Root little pig or die.
